My suzuki jimny starts fine one day, then wont start at all

Sir,

Check battery cables

Sounds like you have a bad connection either to the battery or starter. The lights might pull about 20 amps and stock stereo may pull 7 amps. But a starter pulls around 250 amps or more. If you have a corroded battery and or cables or loose connections, this will give you the symtoms your having.

thanks
good luck

I am having the same problem. i changed the fuel pump the weekend before christmas 2008, but the problem is still there. i have noticed when the car won't start there is no sound coming from the fuel pump, so i now suspect there is a loose wire connection or some other electrical issue, because the fuel pump is new. i now toggle the ignition switch back and forth from off to the on position until i hear the fuel pump sound, then the car starts with no problem. not the best solution, can be frustrating, but so is turning over the engine and the car not starting.

Check your spark plugs, had this problem on one of my cars the cap got to big in the plugs, check also wiring coil to check for bad contacts, Batterey termanals and so

How cold is the weather where you are?

Could be a fuel/water issue .. try some dry gas and injector cleaner

I had the same problem .. that fixed mine

Hi i think its starter problem

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. If necessary for access to the starter, disconnect the exhaust crossover pipe from the manifolds.
4. Unfasten the two starter mounting bolts/screws and carefully lower the starter motor.

1. Making sure the note their positions, detach the my suzuki jimny starts fine one day, then wont sta - 0900c152800b83b6.jpgm the starter motor.

1. Remove the starter motor from the vehicle.

Fig. 5: Carefully lower the starter motor from the vehicleTo install:
Before attaching the electrical connectors, tighten the inner nuts on the solenoid terminals. If the nuts are not tight, the solenoid cap could be damaged during installation of the leads. Tighten the inner nut of the "BAT" terminal to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm).

1. Fasten the electrical leads to the starter motor assembly. Tighten the solenoid switch "BAT" terminal outer nut to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm) and the "S" terminal nut to 22 inch lbs. (2.5 Nm).
2. Position the starter motor to the engine and install the retaining bolts/screws. Tighten to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).
3. Measure the starter pinion-to-flywheel clearance and add shims, if necessary.
4. If removed, connect themy suzuki jimny starts fine one day, then wont sta - 2fcc2dc.jpgossover my suzuki jimny starts fine one day, then wont sta - 9b6084c.jpg manifolmy suzuki jimny starts fine one day, then wont sta - 3cedfcb.jpgli class="h_mi">Carefully lower the vehicle, then connect the negative battery cable.

The problem is in the ecm which is either over heating or has water or moisture inside the ecm (electronic control module) just replace it with the same number which is on the old box.and please dont forget to rate me.

I would suggest that you check and see if the engine has fuel pressure when this happens, to easily check this open the gas cap and listen closely while some one cycles the the ign key on and off every 5 seconds ( don't crank the engine), the pump will make a humming noise if it is running, the other method is to use the test port on the injector fuel rail on top of the eng, it looks like a tire valve, depress the little valve while the key is cycled, if pressure is present it will spray allot of fuel, pressure is around 40 PSI
